    From Rite Aid Cashier to Customer Service Star: A Review of a Former Employee's Journey

    Mar 21, 2023 - Cashier in Forest Hills, NY

    Business Outlook

    Pros

    Rite Aid often promotes from within, meaning that there may be opportunities for cashiers to move up to supervisory or management roles. Rite Aid offers a variety of benefits to its employees, such as healthcare, dental, and vision insurance, a 401(k) retirement plan, paid time off, and employee discounts. Depending on the manager Cashiers at Rite Aid may have the opportunity to work flexible schedules that can accommodate their personal needs.

    Cons

    You are typically required to stand for extended periods, which can be tiring and uncomfortable. While interacting with customers can be a positive experience, it can also be challenging. You may encounter difficult or irate customers and must be able to handle these situations with professionalism and composure. While there may be opportunities for advancement within Rite Aid, the career path for cashiers may be limited compared to other roles within the company.

    Overworked and underpaid!

    Apr 24, 2023 - Part Time Cashier in Wayne, MI

    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    Nothing good about working here!

    Cons

    You have to beg for a break, make you do so much for work for little pay, and no growth, management doesn't trust any of the employees. The managers treats employees like common criminals and they are always nagging us about something petty and something unimportant. They let the managers constantly go on smoke breaks but will not let us coworkers go on a 15 minute sit down break. They always lecture us about bag checks and make us feel like we are stealing from the store and there is no raises. Good luck on moving up in the store, you will NOT get a pay raise. The union is absolutely useless.

    Business Outlook

    Pros

    Work life balance but that’s based on how I manage and schedule. Some managers complain about this but I question their ability. Each store I ran I had no issues so it is achievable.

    Cons

    Past few years they have thrown the bonus and assessment pay structures out the window. I had beaten my bonus plan and had evaluations that merited a good raise but was given a flat increase and greatly reduced bonus. This was for all mangers so it gives no reason to try. The new interim CEO has not made an impact as of yet so can’t comment on her. From some of the new procedures they implemented they aren’t addressing the current problems.
